The immune response is a normal occurrence when the body tissues have been invaded by microorganisms. Which one of the following are developed during this response to neutralise the poisons from the microorganisms?

During an immune response, when the body encounters microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses, it activates various defense mechanisms to protect against infection and neutralize harmful substances, including toxins produced by these invaders. Antitoxins are specific antibodies that are produced to neutralize the toxic effects of the poisons (toxins) released by certain microorganisms.

These specialized proteins can bind to the toxins, effectively inactivating them, thus preventing further harm to the body's tissues. This function is critical during infections caused by certain bacteria that produce toxic compounds, allowing the immune system to mitigate the effects of these harmful substances and support recovery.

While antibodies and immunoglobulins also play a role in the immune response by recognizing and binding to antigens, which are substances that the immune system identifies as foreign, antitoxins specifically focus on neutralizing the toxic components generated by those microorganisms.
